YESTERDAY(SATURDAY) WAS A PRETTY GOOD DAY, WITH A HIGH IN MID 80'S.
STOCK CAR RACING WAS HELD ON SCHEDULE AND WE HAD A COUPLE HUNDRED CARS AT THE 61 DRIVE-IN. BUT BECAUSE OF RAIN AND THE FORECAST FOR MORE,
ONLY ABOUT 15 CARS FRIDAY NIGHT. STOCK CAR RACING AND DRIVE-IN MOVIE
WATCHING DEPENDS ON GOOD WEATHER. TODAY, SOME LIGHT RAIN IN THE MORNING AND THEN CLOUDY SKIES AND A LITTLE SUNSHINE LATE IN AFTERNOON.
SUMMER IS HERE. IN THE 90'S TOMORROW.

THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY DUCK RACE WAS HELD AT NOON TODAY AT THE YMCA POOL. NEARLY 1,000 DUCKS SHOWED UP FOR THE RACE, WHICH WENT
WELL. THE OWNER OF THE WINNING DUCK IS FRAN DEXTER WITH A LOST NATION-ELWOOD PHONE NUMBER. SHE WON $1,000. DUCKS COMING IN 2ND THRU 6TH, AND WINNING $100 FOR THEIR OWNER WERE: RON REIF OF FAIRFIELD AND FORMERLY OF MAQUOKETA. ANOTHER $100 WINNER, SUE RIVER OF MAQUOKETA. ALSO SUE ANDERSON AND CITY NOT KNOWN YET. JIM FOSTER OF RURAL MAQUOKETA WAS A WINNER. AND THE FINAL WINNER WAS CHRIS INGSTROM, CITY NOT KNOWN YET.
THANKS TO ALL YOU BOUGHT A DUCK AND HELPED MAKE THE EVENT A SUCCESS
AGAIN. THE ROTARY WILL USE THE PROCEEDS FOR COMMUNITY GOOD.
THIER NEXT PROJECT WILL BE THE ANNUAL SENIORS ICE CREAM SOCIAL AND
BAND CONCERT, COMING ON JULY 1ST AT THE FAIRGROUNDS. THEIR PROJECT IN MAY WAS THE SCHOLARS BANQUET.

THE FLY-IN BREAKFAST TODAY WAS ANOTHER SUCCESS. CHECK THE PHOTOS
